Dimethylaluminum chloride, which is a mild Lewis acid and a proton scavenger, catalyzes the ene reactions of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes with alkenes containing a disubstituted vinylic carbon. Proton-initiated rearrangements do not occur, since the alcohol-Lewis acid complex formed in the ene reaction reacts rapidly to give methane and a nonacidic aluminum alkoxide. Formaldehyde and excess Me2AlCl give good yields of ene adducts with all types of alkenes. With 1 equiv of Me2AlCl, formaldehyde and mono- and 1, 2-disubstituted alkenes give-chloro alcohols resulting from cis additionof chlorine and hydroxymethyl groupsto the double bond.The ene reaction of carbonylcompounds with alkenes isa potentially valuable route to homoallylic alcohols. 2 With reactive, ie, electrondeficient, aldehydes such as chloral or methyl glyoxylate, these reactions can be carried out thermally at 100-200 C. 3, 4 Formaldehyde reacts with alkenes at 180 C with optimal yields often being obtained when acetic acid-acetic anhydride is the solvent. 5
